    I always stack a Flasher/Fly with a spoon above it. Usually 10-15' apart. Never had a tangle. The only difference in my setup compared to yours is that my bottom line (flasher fly) is 30' from the ball. Top line (spoon) is 50' from the ball.

    Have you tried pressure canning yet? Just recently got into pressure canning salmon and trout. Ive been pressure canning the fish with jalapenos, garlic and ginger paste. I'm extremely surprised with how "un-fishy" it tastes. I've eaten salmon and trout that was cooked many different ways, I think pressure canned fish is my current favorite.

    Assuming the big fish are going to the hatchery. The first time I went salmon fishing (15 years ago) we fished some super small tributary of the Salmon River. And there were some really big fish going up that tiny creek. Wish I knew the name of the creek. I just remember dragging the fish back to the car through farm fields.

    I believe it's possible for smaller fish to follow the spawners part way up stream, and return to the lake without spawning. Thought i read that somehwere. I could be wrong though.

    If I'm going to release a fish, I wont even net it. Get it to the side of the boat, grab it with a set of lip grippers, unhook, then drag it until it starts getting spunky again. My goal is to not touch the fish if I want to release it and have it survive. Taking the fish out of the water is also not ideal. Obviously. The only fish I've had go belly up was a small king that was too small to keep. But that fish never popped the release on the rigger, and was dragged for at least 25 minutes.

    What strain was introduced into the great lakes? Tule?

    Has the DEC made any comments against the idea of bringing in fresh genetics?

    It was going to be a temporary fix for my Penn Yan Explorer if it needed it. But the original tank has no leaks. So I don't need this one. Not sure what boats this would fit.

    Bought this in case I needed it for a new to me boat. I have no use for it. New in box. 400 or best offer. I frequent the mexico/Pulaski area once or twice a week.

    Couldn’t find the fish today. Had a hard time finding cooler water.

    Ran into a couple schools of younger Kings. 2 year olds. 150-200 FOW west of Sandy Pond. Water was rough, couldnt make it as far west as I wanted to. Not a terrible day. Still waiting on the older fish to roll in.

    I'll be going out tomorrow morning, weathers looking spotty, not sure how long I'll be out. I've been having decent luck staying west of the power plant, 10 miles or so offshore.

    Need a newer trailer for my Penn Yan. Looking for a tandem axle trailer. Prefer aluminum and bunks, but would consider a galvanized. Capacity needs to be in the 4-4500lb range. Needs to have paperwork. Cash in hand.

    Landed a 30" king today. Went 1 for 2. Had a bruiser hooked up on the dipsy, peeled a bunch of line, and was gone after fighting with it for a few minutes. Fished in 300-400 FOW. Bites were at 90-100'. Started north of the power plant, lost the fish on the dipsy then worked west and landed one. Water temps were 49-52 at 90-100'.

    I was out Thursday afternoon in the same area. The browns I caught were in 80 FOW, using a 300 copper off a planer board. Black spoon with silver ladderback, and a silver back. Wasn't planning on running into browns that deep but. Fishing was tough all week. 2.5 mph seemed to be the most productive. Did have a strike in 120 FOW on a flasher fly, assuming it was a Lake trout. Lots of bait pods out there.

    I fish 100% in Mexico Bay. I'm getting jealous over here, seeing all of you catching kings on the western side of the lake. So far I've managed to catch two small kings this year. Lots of browns and Lakers, so I cant complain. Last year I didn't start catching kings until early July. Which sounds like the norm for the eastern side of the lake. What's the "scientific" reason for the hot king action in May out west, while the eastern king bite is slow? I went way offshore today, hoping to find some. Ran across lots of bait, but no fish.

    Looking to get a convertible top made for my Penn Yan Explorer. Does anyone know of a small mom and pop shop in the Mexico/Oswego area that can build a convertible top for my boat?
